Description
This lecture primarily focus on the process related materials such as types and associated properties of stainless steel, how corrosion occurs, and the suitable options for various piping systems. Also, a brief review of different materials available when building and “dressing up” a brewery; selecting the wrong material for a specific application can have serious negative consequences on both the equipment life and the beer quality.
